Good morning! Stopping by for a quick cup of coffee. Glad you survived TT! The CPAP's are loud! They claim it is supposed to make ya sleep better! Right!

I am so done with unicorns. I seen a thread somewhere else on ecf that had mentioned unicorns. Help me!

 

[technovapir]

Sdh, I'm not so fond of unicorns myself, however...they are the ONLY thing that can erase the vomit factor that comes with some of the icky discussions around here. So, if you can find another mythical beast to take their place, please let me know!

Really they are not loud at all when you have them on right They lull me right to sleep

 

[salemgold]

You know they watch you on a camera in your room during those studies. I bet that they were wondering what TT was fiddling with under the covers

Add to that the fact that they smelled caramel on him and I bet that they were thinking that TT is one kinky dude!!!!!!!!!! I kill myself sometimes lol

And then TT has a big old grin on his face when they ask about the caramel!

 

[Sdh]

I know your right Salem! One would think with modern technology they could silence the units.

Techno, I will have to come up with something besides the cute unicorn theme!

 

[salemgold]

I had to splain this all to hubby since I am LMAO!!! Now he is too!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah we are a bit warped.

 

[TexasT]

So did they tell you how many times an hour you stopped breathing? Maybe you have to wait to see your doc for that

He just said I quit breathing a lot and my oxygen saturation kept dropping down to 70 (per cent ??)

The CPAP they put me on was real quiet. My wife was sleeping in a recliner beside it and she said she couldn't hear it at all. She was awake when they put me on it.

Salem...At first I thought you were talking about Unicorns. "Well" I thought, "Of COURSE they're not loud." Then, I realized you must be talking about that CPAP thing, which, honestly I thought was like a PAP at first, but now that I've had more coffee I realize there is a HUGE difference, so it's all beginning to make sense.
So Carry on.

I wrote a big post earlier and got disconnected right after I hit post and lost it....
SO, forgetaboutit!!!!!

TT, you will feel so much better sleeping with your very own Darth Vader!!!!!

 

[technovapir]

TT, Your wifey must be a real sweetie. To stay there with you all through the test like that. She's probably real tired today too.
If I lived closer I'd bring over some casserole or something for the both of you. But I'm all the way up here in the North...so instead heres some hugs; ((TT)) ((Mrs.TT))

Ooh! That is not good at all TT! Now I bet that you and Mrs TT are SO glad that you got it done! I hope that you can get your machine quickly

Yeah they are not loud at all. They do start to get a little loud when the gasket on the mask is worn out. The seal around your face breaks and air will rush through it making a little noise. I should replace my mask about every 4 months but now my insurance only pays for 2 per year.
That stuff is ridiculously expensive if you have to pay out of pocket. My mom quit using the humidifier part of the machine because she got tired of fooling with the distilled water but IMO it is much better with it. It dries me out something fierce without.

My mom was not up to shopping yesterday so I am going to take her now I will talk to all of you later I am sure

 

[salemgold]

That oxygen saturation is 70% out of 100% If you stopped breathing 700 times in an hour that is astronomical. Just wait and see how much better you feel after you get your machine

OK Really going now

 

[salemgold]

Wait! You did not say 700 lol I just got up from a nap and misread it

I had to do a double take on that one lol

 

[Sdh]

With a o2 saturation of 70% I would definitely want 02 or cpap! My mom had sleep apnea and refused cpap.

You two are likely just as bad as me .... you probably just don't admit it the way I do. LOL

I'm sure glad that sleep study stuff is done with though. I have one more visit with my heart doctor that I really need to make and then wifey and I should be free to get on the road with our big, ol' travel trailer. By that time things should be starting to cool off a bit and we can just go and have some fun.

This has been a busy, busy year with all the family's medical problems and getting mine completely out of the way is the last of it. Thank goodness. There's been some things I haven't mentioned such as my cowboy roping star grandson getting bucked off a horse and having an injury to his head (thank goodness it wasn't any part of his body that he uses much) and grandkids with the usual assortment of summertime injuries.

I don't mean to sound like I take all this lightly ... I don't. But these are country/ranch kids that get a paper towel or dirty handkerchief and wipe the blood off and keep on going. At least until parents/grandparents see the wound/injury. That's when you begin to see the hysterical people running around and kids being hauled to the doctor or emergency room.

Hey TT! We are the same way. My hubs dropped an older computer monitor on his foot. OMG! Blood everywhere. Most normal people would have went to the ER. Not the hubs. He told me to use my charm and wits and fix it! Unfortunately he was taking allot of fish oil. It took awhile to get the blood to actually clot. Luckily, I had some 3M butterfly stitches and applied. (aka steri-strips).

Hope your grandson is feeling better!

I had numerous head injuries before the age of two! I think it is called dropped baby syndrome. Oops!

 

[Sdh]

Hey Toto forgot to tell you something. You are the 1000 person who "liked" my post! I wonder if I had a dislike button! How many posts would I get! LOL!

 

[technovapir]

Hey, Sdh you reminded me...Sometime last night, while I was sleeping, I went over 1000 likes!! I was very excited!
It was probably either Toto or TT who put me there, so thank you both very much.
We need more PRIZES around here.

Which reminds me...TT - Toto won a prize last night, and I sort of told her that you'd grant her anything she wished...hope that was OK...
